Harvest Spring Salad with Cranberries and Walnuts

I found this salad in the Costco in the kitchen cookbook. It is super easy to make and goes well with any dinner. The poppyseed dressing comes from my family though. We make it for almost all fruity salads that contain raspberries or strawberries.

What you need:

1 large container of Fresh Spring salad mix
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup feta cheese

Dressing:

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 tbs. minced onion
1 1/2 tbs. poppyseeds

In a large bowl, combine spring mix, walnuts, dried cranberries, and feta cheese.
To prepare dressing , combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix well.
Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
